The world's most dangerous prisoners were once imprisoned in this jail, a tornado ruined everything, now people go there for fun

Whenever the topic of jail comes up, the thought of dangerous prisoners comes to mind, but do you know, there is a jail in the world where people now go to visit only for fun. Even though this may sound strange to you, it is absolutely true.

Many prisons have been built in the world to keep prisoners. Many of these jails are very dangerous and your soul will tremble after knowing about them, but today we are going to tell you the story of one such jail which has now become a favorite for tourists. Although it was not like this from the beginning. Were dangerous prisoners ever housed here? Now the question must be arising in your mind that then what happened here that everything changed suddenly.

First of all, let us tell you that here we are talking about Tennessee State Prison, which was built in the year 1898 so that dangerous prisoners could be imprisoned here. At one time it was so secure that James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., was kept here.

Is this jail open for common people?

Things changed with time and but this prison was not maintained as it should have been and after almost 94 years it was closed in 1992 and left vacant. Apart from this, when the EF3 tornado hit here in the year 2020, everything was ruined.

It is being told that a 40 yard portion of the stone wall and several electric poles had fallen here. Due to which, the matter of relief is that no one got hurt in the jail premises. Nowadays, due to the condition of the jail, it can be used only for external scenes. Apart from this, many films have also been shot here today. Let us tell you that famous singer Johnny Cash had performed a show for the prisoners here in the year 1968 and also recorded a live album named A Concert: Behind Prison Walls from here in the year 1976.
